There isn't a pre-defined colour table which matches that description. 
You can create an arbitrary colour table using:

	r.colors map=... color=rules

then entering category/colour pairs. Once you have one map with a
suitable colour table, you can copy it to another map using:

	r.colors map=... rast=...

See the r.colors manual page for more details.
